The promise of the Open Cloud

Ubuntu's vision for Open Cloud computing and role in OpenStack

Agility and scale are the twin goals of cloud computing. Companies want to improve developer agility and productivity, they also want the benefits of scale economics, both internally and from their public cloud providers. With production deployments of OpenStack onUbuntu12.04 LTS at many sites, including telco's, service providers and enterprises, and with Ubuntu being the OS deployed at the largest scale on public clouds, we have gained valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities that both present. Mark will share knowledge from Canonical's support of real OpenStack deployments together with news and roadmaps for cloud users that are building out large scale public and private clouds with Ubuntu and OpenStack.
